Top 10 Most Annoying Things About Kids

1. They Throw Tantrums

   A 2-3 year old girl threw a tantrum in a supermarket because of a chocolate egg. A chocolate egg! It was expensive, and she cried. Kids aged 2-4 cry over anything imaginable. Also, I noticed the girl likes candy (no surprise) and when she sees some, she automatically wants it. I like candy too, but I don't overuse it.

   It is so annoying to have a little kid throwing a temper tantrum! I should know, my little 4-year-old always says she hates me and throws a temper tantrum.

   When he was little, my 7-year-old cousin would cry until the point that he nearly threw up. He actually threw up from his tantrums several times. SO ANNOYING!

2. They Scream

   I know this kid who screams so much, I'm starting to think that's her normal voice. On top of that, her mom only blames it on someone else in the room or says, "Please be quiet" to no effect. Even when that annoying little brat is literally the only one screaming, and everyone else is actually trying to quiet her down, it has very little effect. The worst thing about this is that she always needs babysitting. I don't know if this is a bad child or bad parenting...

   My almost two-year-old cousin is sweet and happy but gets fussy in under a second. Out of her sight for under a minute? She will scream her lungs out and cry like the devil himself. It's horrible. In public? My ears want to bleed. I seriously want to tape that child's mouth.

3. They Talk Back

   My little cousins like to talk smack to me whenever they're mad at me or disagree with me.

   Bernie Mac said it best on The Original Kings of Comedy: "If they're grown enough to talk back, they're grown enough to get f****d up."

4. They Always Want Attention

   I know this scene all too well. It starts off with a family day at my uncle's place. Then, my 3-year-old cousin asks me to go to his room to show me something. Next thing I know, I'm stuck in there almost all afternoon until someone has to almost pull me out of the room. Laugh out loud.

   This is too true! Every time we have people over, I have a trail of little kids behind me at all times! No, I don't want to play. No, I don't care if Dora got a popcorn party! No, I don't want to watch your surprise egg videos. They can never leave me alone.

5. They Bother You While You're Trying to Do Things

   One day, I was doing my extremely important homework the night before it was due. Then, a 6-year-old girl I know burst into the room, making a crazy amount of noise and practically charging at me. She suddenly stopped, looked at my homework for at least 10 minutes, until I asked her to go away so that I could continue. Then, she gave me this idiotic look and said in her high-pitched, extremely loud, 6-year-old voice, "I don't think you're doing that right." It took so much to avoid throwing her and her dumb face out my window. By the way, I live on the 6th floor of a building.

   UGH, it is SO annoying! They always narrate everything they're doing, they yell and tell stories, and constantly distract you with silly stories they think are funny while you're trying to concentrate.

   It is cute at first, but then it gets very irritating. Especially when I'm trying to read a book and they keep talking, even though I give them my phone to play with.

6. They're Disrespectful

   It depends. If the kid is respected, he should be respectful. But a lot of adults expect respect even if they're disrespectful. So it depends.

7. They Make a Mess

   When my mom babysat my cousins, they would tear up the entire living room and dining room and the stairs, and scatter toys all over the floor. If you attempted to move them or even clean the mess up, they would lose it and freak out. Even my mom would not let me clean the mess up or move the toys to the side. I had to risk injury every step I took just to go upstairs and downstairs! It's like stepping through a minefield in a war zone!

   The only time we all did this and never cleaned up was when we were like 4.

   Kids are always making a mess, and they never want to clean up.

8. They Get Smart with You

   Yes. I hate it when my little brother roasts me and makes up random reasons why he's right. He acts like I'm some kind of bully, and he's the innocent, perfect angel. I get so angry at him.

9. They Are Stupid

   It's true, this seems very rude, but I see some of these items as an "I hate it when" type of thing. I think most of us can agree that we hate it when little kids are stupid. Again, it is still rude.

   Well, little kids are dumb, so you will have to let them learn. I see how you feel if you have a sibling who is 9+ and dumb, though.

   Their logic is always a little skewed.

10. They Grow Up

    We all have to grow up.

    The struggles of being an adult and realizing how much easier childhood was.

    The only good thing about it is that their behavior improves.

    It's better than being stuck with no freedom, though.

The Newcomers

    They Have Horrible Taste in Music

    I wouldn't say that their taste is horrible, but most little kids really don't know what music artists they are listening to. It's absurd seeing older people shame a young person's taste because it doesn't fit their standards, especially when the kid isn't aware of the general consensus of what makes music "good" or "bad."

    You cannot expect an average kid to listen to Queen and immediately like their songs. Let them be kids. Let them do dumb things, but correct them when necessary. The best thing about them is that their music tastes mostly change as they grow older.

    They Grit Their Teeth

    My sister does this all the time non-stop.

The Contenders

13. They're Ungrateful

    My brother is just ridiculous. He eats really weird food. Examples: hot dogs with nothing except a bun and wiener, pizza with only cheese, not even tomato sauce, dry seaweed, and noodles almost every day. Today he didn't want to eat his hot dog because he said it was too chewy. I want to scream because he is so ungrateful for the food he gets!

    Kids today have no appreciation for how hard their parents work to provide for them, all the food they buy them, all the clothes they buy them, and the roof they put over their heads.

14. They Ask Too Many Questions

    The other day, my youngest brother asked my sister random questions like how did helium gas get invented or whatever.

    Once, some little kid saw me, came up to me, and started bombarding me with questions (How old are you? How did you get so tall?) It drives me insane when kids do that.

    Why do we breathe?

    Does Batman wear underpants?

    Does God have a long beard?

15. They Have No Problem Breaking Your Stuff

    I had a brass slinky, and he broke it TWICE!

16. They Cry Too Loudly

    One time when I went to Cracker Barrel, a baby was screaming and crying at an unbearably ear-piercing loud volume!

    I am glad that I was far away from that possessed baby!

17. They Steal

18. They Are Mean

19. They Always Look at Things Negatively

20. They Stare at You in Public

    I was outside flying a drone yesterday when some nosy kid started staring at me and commenting on every move I made.

    It drives me crazy how they just never leave you alone.

    Like I'm not Marilyn Manson, stop staring at me!

21. They Always Have to Be Right

    Whenever my cousins were little, they would do bad stuff and then deny it. When I told them that they were wrong, they would start crying for my relatives, and they would say that they were right and I was wrong when it was really the other way around!

22. They're Bullies

23. They Smoke

    Kids shouldn't even be smoking.

24. They Laugh at Bodily Noises

25. They Drink

26. They Think Money Grows on Trees

    A lot of kids just assume that because their parents make a lot of money, they should be able to buy them anything they want. However, these kids don't understand that parents have things called bills.

    My younger cousins used to constantly make my mom buy cheap toys for them from the dollar store.

    My brother bought this dinosaur toy that was like 20 dollars. It looks like it's from McDonald's.

27. They Cuss

    This is absolutely true! Why do they say bad words if it's bad? I am actually the only one, LITERALLY, in the classroom who does not say bad words.

    Kids today know so much rude stuff. When I was about 8, I learned my first swear word. And I didn't know what sex was until I was 10.

    They don't even get in trouble for saying it in front of the grown-ups!
